Congratulations to our Winner, Annie Browne
Watch for the next Labor Day to Labor Day 12-week Giveaway this coming Sunday.
More prizes coming your way!
If there is one thing I wish I had from day one of Cash?s life, it would be an Ergobaby Performance Carrier. With all of the hiking, trekking, moving, and walking the Powell Pack does, this sure would have made our life easier.
I was introduced to the Ergobaby Carrier this last summer in Colorado. A friend and I were taking our combined 5 kids (6, if you include the baby on board ?) for a hike in the beautiful mountains of Canon City, CO, and Cash ? bless his heart ? was being the usual Cashy Boy?super rambunctious! I didn?t have any desire to pull him up those mountains with the risk of him running over a ledge. Nor did I feel like carrying him on my hip the whole way. I was 6 months pregnant for crying out loud!
Ergobaby to the rescue! Much to my surprise, the Ergobaby Carrier my friend lent me not only carried Cash?s 2 year old body on my back, but carried him comfortably for both of us. And until this point, Cash had NEVER been a fan of carriers!! EVER.
I?m sold.
After doing some research of my own, I realized Ergobaby has a line specifically designed for active parents like us! I thought the one I wore was comfortable for hiking?I can only imagine how comfortable the Performance Carrier is. I can?t wait to try it out!
You can win one of these $135 amazing carriers for yourself!

Currently I have a front carrier in which I take my son hiking with my dogs every sunday on Mt rose in Nevada. But he will soon grow out of it and I need something that I can carry him on my back. I am extremely active and I want to teach my son the same thing
I have been eyeing this Ergobaby carrier since the day we found out I was pregnant! Our baby boy is due in March and we would LOVE to win this giveaway. I hardly enter these type of things but money is running low so even if I have a slim chance of winning..I’ll do it!
PS..I love your new workout routine the nasty 9’s 🙂
I have been wanting a carrier for my almost 14 month old. For the last few months my 4 year old, the baby, and I have been going and hiking the trails at our park, but it’s a huge pain in the butt with the stroller. Plus the baby won’t quit climbing out of the stroller. Even when you buckle him in. 🙁 it’s frustrating having to constantly stop and make him sit down. I need a carrier! Ha ha
Heidi! My husband and I are expecting our first baby and we are so excited!! We hike Squaw Peak and Camelback Mountain weekly and would LOVE an opportunity to bring our new little one along when the time comes. Would you recommend to wear during box jumps?? 🙂 Just kidding. Best of luck to you and your last month of pregnancy!

I have a special needs little boy who can’t crawl or walk… And may never be able to. He would love this and it would make life so much easier for the both of us!
My most memorable hike was in Montana. We were Letterboxing. (Which your family would LOVE!) At a place called Moose Creek. We thought it’s be a relatively short hike and fairly moderate. So we left our backpack with snacks and our headlamps in the car. Needless to say it was not the hike we were expecting with several nearly vertical hills and it ended up taking quite a bit longer. Especially since I was packing my baby and my hubby had the exhausted, sleeping 5 year old in the backpack carrier. We ended up hiking back in the dark with only the tiny light from my husband’s keychain. In truth it turned out to be one of those memories of an awesome hike we will never forget! We were lucky there were no accidents or problems. We learned our lesson too!
This carrier looks amazing! Part of my decreased activity level has been due to managing my two year old and two month old. I haven’t been able to afford most of the options out there. It would be great to win this and hit the local trails where strollers aren’t allowed. (We go where I can use the stroller and I’m great foul but it limits us. There are so many other options when a stroller isn’t required.)
I have a 3 year old daughter and a 3 month old son. The only way I get anything done is by wearing my son in our front carrier. Seriously, I get laughed at a lot. Grocery shopping, house cleaning, cooking, errands, playing with my daughter, walks, outings, AND many days I wear him while I work out. Unfortunately, our carrier is not the best and leaves my back so sore at the end of the day. We are a very active family- took our first hike as a family of 4 just 2 weeks after baby boy was born in July. I know we would use this everyday and for hikes as well. It would be so nice for me to have a carrier that doesn’t hurt me! Thanks for the giveaway and all the advice in your blog. I live EWL and think you and Chris are some of the nicest people.
I live in Utah! Some of the best hiking there is! In general, I’m all over baby wearing. My friend loves her Ergo!
I am on the hunt for an Ergo for baby #2 — I think it will be critical for staying active and being able to go on walks as a family!
